@ work, we were asked to deploy vanilla for a client who wanted to have a simple and fast bulletin board. vanilla is the best in this category.
however, upon uploading and installing to the sub domain, nothing loads. it loads well on the machine i'd installed it (due to cookie i presume) but not on other machines.

the server php info: hxxp://staff.snitedu.com/php.php

my system settings in conf.

the files are not held directly on the staff.snitedu root. they are in a folder called web/content/
apache reads from there - i've no control over this.

please help me.

p.s
where can i get a cute 3d picture of vanilla to incl. in our terms of service? do we have the right to make a logo not issued by lussumo? will link it on terms of services where we list all the licenses and technology used.

sorry for bothering you. thank you for helping me.

i used http - hxxp is only used here to avoid hotlinking and indexing from search engines

other pages are displaying well. i'm currently clueless. any idea?

My error - it happens only when i disable "Allow non-members to browse the forum" in the application.

It's probably something related to the sessions then... what version of PHP is it running on now?

Do you happen to have mod_security installed on the server? It is known to cause some strange behavior, although I haven't seen anything like this before.
